10•10•10=1,000=10^3
1,608 divided by 1,000 equals 1.608
The LCD of 2/5 + k/4 = 9/10 is 20. Applying this LCD, we get:
8 + 5k = 18. Subtracting 8 from both sides: 5k = 10. Then k = 10/5, or k = 2.
Answer:CD = x = 4 units
Explanation:We are given that the two triangles are similar. This means that we can set the similarity proportionality as follows:

W e have:
BC = 20 - x
AC = 20
CD = x
CE = 5
Substitute in the above proportionality and solve for x as follows:

4x = 20 - x
5x = 20
x = 4
Based on he above:
CD = 4 units
BC = 20 - x = 20 - 4 = 16 units
Hope this helps :)
